Herbalife!! Bring it On!!
The reason I decided to try Herbalife is because I want to be healthy and my diet, although not bad, wasn’t great. I want to feel amazing, I’m exhausted every day. My disability requires a lot of energy for me to do daily tasks and I just run out of energy way sooner then I should.
Pushing a wheelchair all day may sound easy, but it’s not — you have to be strong. Think about it, add your weight plus the weight of a wheelchair and that’s what you are pushing. My wheelchair’s about 17 pounds and I’m about 85 pounds.
So you see it’s not about weight for me; it’s all about feeling better and gaining strength to be strong and independent. World domination, eh did I say that? No, I mean my health domination journey. To empower myself, so I can inspire, empower someone else who is like me struggling to get through the day. I’m also hoping that my chronic pain will vanish; I hate taking medicine.
I’m relaxing this morning sipping on the most delicious tea ever that gives me energy. I only purchased a small one, and I see that I will have to buy the bigger one ASAP. I haven’t done the shake yet because my mentor says I need to do the tea first in the morning.
I do see a difference in energy when I drink the tea, and it lasts without a crash. The best part is it’s healthy, and that is always a good thing.
I am a little nervous about trying the shake because I’m fussy when it comes to eating/drinking, plus I don’t have any more soy almond milk and will be using water until I can get to the store. The shakes are meal replacements, and I will have two shakes a day with plenty of water to drink plus my yummy tea.
I have an uphill battle; I hear next week she, “The Mentor,” will be sending workout videos for me to do. She’s a kick butt kind of chick and a little scary as far as balls to the walls’ workout; she’s perfect to get my butt in shape. This is a good combination of fear and admiration.
Tiffany won’t give me a break because of my gimpy status, which is awesome and frightening at the same time. I am in for a wild ride. I can’t think of anyone better for this job, seriously!
I am done with my tea and ready for my shake. And to be honest, the shake is okay, not too bad. I know it will be much better with almond soy milk and more fruit. I love to cook, so I’ll be able to fix it up even better given time. The great thing is I can drink it like this for now, which is phenomenal because like I said, I’m very picky. Until I get used to it, I am also drinking water, which helps me get used to the shake.
You know what is strange? Since I drank my first glass of tea, I haven’t craved coke like I did before drinking it. I hope it stays that way, , because I am trying to avoid osteoporosis, which isn’t easy for someone who doesn’t walk to get. I already have Osteopenia which I am trying to reverse, so I don’t have to be on medicine or worry about my bones snapping in two.
